  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I've just finished this game, and needless to say it has some strong commentary on organized religion and or religious extremism (and also on nationalism, and racism amongst other things)

I was wondering what other Christians thought of the game (assuming you've played it through to the end) so this thread is for discussion of the game. :cool:

i never got into the bioshock games, is that the one with the guy in the space suit?

It was a diving suit and no, this one takes place in a floating city.

The other Bioshocks were great but I never seen enough in trailers, reviews and developer commentary to want to play it. On top of that by the time it came close to coming out I decided to not play the game because of the amount of blood. Seemed a bit overkill. ESpecially after playing something like Dishonored. Infinite is even labeled as "Ultra Violence".

But even that aside I've been watching gameplay videos and still don't feel urged to play. I think also the idea of Rapture and the whole underwater thing (oh and big daddies and little sisters) really are what sold the other games.
